I'm guessing 1.65 bravos....my 31 Formula had stock 502 mags and 30P bravos (with 1.65 drives)

A friend has the same boat with the same power and after trying 28 and 30 pitch Bravo's he settled on the 28s. I'd try a set of stock 28s and go from there.

The boat is a PQ 30 Revenge with twins 425hp's and bravo drives.

Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts?

Thanks.

The props that were on the boat when purchased were 30's that were worked over and ran perfect. I was on the boat plenty of times never with any blowout stick with the original props you'll get your 80.1 on gps just my opinion.
